Default Popping from underneath!

Whenever I take a turn in my car hard I get a popping sound coming from underneath. It's kinda unnerving. It kinda shakes the car. It only comes from the back. It sounds like on the passenger side. What could this be? I know it's still under warranty and I could take it in but theyll just tell me nothings wrong with it. Should I just tighten things up down there ? It's an 04 sxt 5 speed with 5,824 miles. Thanx

Better description would be nice....what are you going to tighten if you have no idea what the problem is? Does it sound like your exhaust popping, suspension making a noise....etc More info needed.

Have you done any suspension work such as lowering springs? I personally would take it to the dealer if I hadn't done anything to the suspension, let them figure it out.

And if I'm not mistaken the hole in your muffler is supposed to be there. I couldn't honestly tell you why, but there is one on my stock muffler. My friend probably told me why it was there but I forgot.

I had a similar problem with my Neon. I took it in to get it checked out and it was a broken bolt on the swaybar. The guy fixed it and no more noise.

Ground control, how did you lower it? It could be hitting the limits and bottoming out.
